Larry Wheels is facing allegations from fellow fitness creators, who claim to have exposed private messages about his relationship and accused him of failing to repay a $50,000 debt.

The situation began on February 18, 2026, when Canadian fitness YouTuber Greg Doucette uploaded a video titled “Larry Wheels Just Ended His Career.”

In the video, Doucette claims he received screenshots of messages allegedly sent by Larry Wheels and accused him stealing $50,000 from a friend.

What are the “Larry Wheels Files”?

In his February 18 video, Doucette showed selected screenshots that he said were from private conversations involving Wheels. While he did not display every alleged message in full, he summarized their contents and criticized Wheels’ behavior.

The messages suggested Wheels was a “cuckold” for his wife Sheyla, and Doucette also made a direct allegation that Wheels stole from a friend:

“He robbed his good friend Daniel of $50,000 for a down payment on his house and never paid him a cent back.”

Rather than publish all of the material himself, Doucette said he would allow fellow YouTuber Jon Bravo to release additional information. On February 18, Bravo posted a nearly 30-minute video expanding on the claims, referring to the material as the “Larry Wheels Files.”

During Bravo’s video, further alleged messages were read aloud. At the 11:35 mark, Wheels was quoted as writing: “It’s how I’m wired. It doesn’t excite me to sleep with another woman. It excites me more if you sleep with another man.”

Bravo also addressed Wheels’ history with performance-enhancing drugs, stating: “I believe this is a perfect example of what happens when you are a 16-year-old kid. You go on a copious amount of performance-enhancing drugs.”

Larry Wheels’ response

Wheels has denied key elements of the allegations. In a clip referenced at the 22:45 mark of Bravo’s video, he said: “Despite what was said with those clip-farming clips, I am not a cuck… for anyone out there wondering, there is no such cuckolding going on here in this marriage.”

As of now, no legal findings have been announced regarding the $50,000 allegation. The dispute is ongoing, with the term “Larry Wheels Files” used to describe allegations against the fitness influencer. Wheels also now streams regularly on Kick alongside Rampage Jackson.
